Sans Superellipse Pimep 6 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'EFCO Growers' by Ilham Herry, 'Futura Now' by Monotype, 'Aptly' by Shinntype, and 'Eastman Condensed' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with a distinctly squared, rounded-corner construction: curves resolve into softened rectangles and superellipse-like bowls rather than true circles. Strokes are heavy and monolinear, with minimal modulation and a strongly vertical rhythm. Apertures tend to be tight and counters compact, giving the text a solid, blocky texture. Terminals are mostly flat or softly rounded, and the overall proportions favor tall, straight stems with short crossbars and compact shoulders.
Best suited to display settings where density and impact are desired, such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding where a compact footprint is useful, though extended text may benefit from increased letterspacing.
The font conveys a utilitarian, engineered tone—confident and slightly retro—evoking signage, machinery labels, and mid‑century display typography. Its compact, high-impact shapes feel direct and no-nonsense, with a controlled geometric personality rather than a friendly humanist one.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-visibility sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing a sturdy silhouette and consistent geometric logic for attention-grabbing typography in constrained widths.
Round letters like O and Q read as rounded rectangles, and the punctuation and numerals follow the same squared-off geometry, reinforcing consistency across the set. In paragraphs the condensed width creates strong vertical striping, so generous tracking can help reduce density at smaller sizes.
